  2. Connect the open end of the round coaxial cable [1] to the cable input connector on the back of the cable box

  3. Use another round coaxial cable [2], connect one end to the cable output connector on the back of the cable box and the other end to the [Cable/Antenna] connector on the back of the TV

  4. If the cable connector is threaded, screw it on finger tight

  5. Turn on the cable box, if applicable, set the output channel to CH3 or 4

  6. Turn on the TV and tune to the same channel as the cable box
